Roller blind system

Abstract

A roller blind system with two lateral guide members for a draw-up mechanism or a mounting or the like of a roller blind, wherein the carrier members can each be connected to the respective lateral guide rails for the roller blind shuttering and are designed for carrying the draw-up mechanism or the mounting or the like. The roller blind system includes for each carrier member at least one cover means which can be fixed at the end on the outside to the respective carrier member.

I claim: 
     
       1. A roller blind system comprising: a winding shaft for carrying a roller blind shuttering;   a draw-up mechanism for operating said winding shaft to wind said roller blind shuttering thereon;   two lateral guide rails in which the roller blind shuttering is guided;   two lateral carrier members, each of said carrier members being connected to a respective one of said lateral guide rails for carrying the draw-up mechanism and a mounting;   at least one cover plate for each of said carrier members which is separate from said carrier members and which can be fixed on the outside of said carrier members; and   a functionally passive roller blind casing housing said draw-up mechanism, said mounting, said carrier members, and said winding shaft,   wherein said roller blind system can be used as a ready-made roller blind when said cover plates are fixed to said carrier members and said roller blind casing is attached for housing said draw-up mechanism, said mounting, said carrier members and said winding shaft, and wherein said roller blind system can be used as a build-in roller blind when said cover plates and said roller blind casing are removed.   
     
     
       2. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that for each of the carrier members it includes a plurality of different functionally passive cover plates, each of which are selectively connectable to the respective carrier member. 
     
     
       3. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that it includes a plurality of different carrier members, each of which are selectively connectable to the guide rails. 
     
     
       4. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 3 characterized in that the carrier members have a similar connecting element for releasably connecting the carrier members to the respective guide rails. 
     
     
       5. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 4 characterised in that it includes a plurality of different separate connecting elements, of which a respective one, depending on the respectively desired relative position of the guide rail and the carrier member, can be selected and used for connecting the guide rail and the carrier member. 
     
     
       6. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 4 characterized in that each of said carrier members includes a profile channel formed therein for receiving a separate connecting element, by way of which said guide rails can be connected to said carrier members. 
     
     
       7. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that the carrier member has a plurality of through openings at a flat region which is set back inwardly relative to an end face thereof, said draw-up mechanism and said mounting being releasably attachable to said carrier member by screws inserted through said through openings. 
     
     
       8. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that the cover plates are flat plates. 
     
     
       9. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that the cover plates are glued to the carrier members. 
     
     
       10. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that the cover plates are releasably fastened to the carrier members. 
     
     
       11. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that the cover plates are pushed onto the carrier members. 
     
     
       12. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1 characterized in that the cover plates are connected with the carrier members by a self-locking connection. 
     
     
       13. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 12, characterized in that the cover plates have at least one resilient catch element automatically engaging a counter catch on the carrier members when the cover plates are mounted to the carrier members, thus holding the cover plates and carrier members together. 
     
     
       14. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 1, characterized in that the cover plates are preferably one-piece plastic members. 
     
     
       15. A roller blind system comprising: a roller blind shuttering;   a draw-up mechanism for operating a winding shaft of the roller blind shuttering;   two lateral guide rails in which the roller blind shuttering is guided;   two lateral carrier members which are connected to the respective lateral guide rails and which carry the draw-up mechanism and a mounting; and   deflecting elements for the roller blind shuttering which are separate from the carrier members and releasably fastened to each carrier member adjacent opposite ends of said winding shaft and perpendicular to said winding shaft.   
     
     
       16. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 15, characterised in that the deflecting element is a flat plate. 
     
     
       17. A roller blind system as set forth in claim 15, characterized in that the deflecting element is held by a cover connected with the carrier member and having for this purpose preferably at least one catch nose. 
     
     
       18. A holding structure for a draw-up mechanism and a mounting of a roller blind comprising: a carrier member for carrying the draw-up mechanism and the mounting;   a cover connected to an outer side of said carrier member remote from the draw-up mechanism; and   a deflecting element for the roller blind shuttering which is separate from the carrier member and is arranged at an inner side of the carrier member adjacent an end of said winding shaft and perpendicular to said winding shaft.   
     
     
       19. A holding structure for a draw-up mechanism and a mounting of a roller blind comprising: a carrier member designed for carrying the draw-up mechanism and the mounting;   a cover with a base cover plate and projecting side walls, said carrier member being inserted into said cover and releasably fixed thereto by a snap connection; and   a deflecting element for the roller blind shuttering which is releasably fixed to the cover adjacent an end of said winding shaft and perpendicular to said winding shaft by a snap connection at an inner side of the carrier member.
